I'm still rocking an 8th gen i5 and a 2080.

Which likely means you are gaming along just fine. That rig should max out 1440P, and probably do fine with some games at 4K.

I play at 1440p. Depends on what we call maxing out. It purrs in the 70-80 FPS range on max settings with no RT most times. I want solid frames with RT on.

People sleep on RT, but it's a game changer to me. The difference in the overall feel is astounding.
